The Exit Polls are a survey with sampling bias and large margins of error. Our analysis of actual precinct data reveals Latino vote was about 5-7 pts less Dem than 2020 but still well over 60% for Harris, in some instances 67% or 70% in favor of Harris.

Our receipts:

Using data from @MyCielola on Zapotec speakers by census tract, our team at @ucla_vrp overlaid these data by voting precinct to identify 36 precincts that should be required to have Zapotec language ballots, easily passing the 3% threshold required by CA law.

Taking the stage next is @RepMonicaDLC but please don't tell her that the Southern part of TX-15 which is majority Latino just got 7-points MORE DEMOCARTIC. And don't tell the NYT but the RGV just got a little bluer on March 5th. 📊 by @MikeBRios @ahariharan014 @MichaelHerndon_

If the Republican gains in Rio Grande Valley are real, then why didn't more Latinos vote in the GOP primary on March 5? TX-15 lost ground as compared to 2022. Don't believe it? Go check the data, it's all on the Texas SOS website. This is total ballots cast in Dem v. GOP pri

Check out this precinct plot by @MikeBRios @ucla_vrp showing % Dem in 2020 presidential vs. % Dem in 2024 primary -- Hidalgo County TX -- as precincts get more heavily Latino, Dems are OVERPERFORMING RN compared to '20 -- NO RED WAVE?!

Latino voters remain one of the most influential yet least mobilized electorates - give a read for yourself! 🗳️👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

[UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute (LPPI) @UCLAlatino]

🚨NEW @UCLAlatino Report: Despite the increased role of Latinos in determining elections & the vast evidence showing the crucial role of long-term & sustained contact for their turnout—investment in the mobilization of Latino voters has lagged behind. @MikeBRios @roddominguezv

[Michael Rios @MikeBRios]

@marcela_elisa reminds us how vital mobilization of Latino voters will be in determining the outcomes of the 2022 midterms 👀 pay attention y’all

Latino voters may determine control of the US Senate https://t.co/9m6wROmeH6 via @BostonGlobe

[Michael Rios @MikeBRios]

🚨 NEW REPORT ALERT 🚨

With the midterms looming, many have questioned if #LatinoVoters are becoming more conservative.

@roddominguezv and I look back at the 2020 election to see how Democratic Senate candidates performed compared to Biden among #LatinoVoters.
👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

[UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute (LPPI) @UCLAlatino]

BREAKING: A new report from @UCLAlatino found that #LatinoVoters supported Democratic Senate candidates by wide margins in 2020 in 6 key Senate races, but a considerable number split their ballots btwn parties when choosing Senate and presi. candidates.

In WA state the @RedistrictingWA commission failed to deliver maps by Nov 15 & worse, it failed to draw a Latino-performing district in the densely Latino Yakima region - a direct violation of the #VotingRightsAct

#Latinas are a PILLAR 🏛 of the U.S. workforce - it's been time to start regarding them as such

[UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute (LPPI) @UCLAlatino]

Yet, from March 2020 - March 2021, the number of Latinas in the workforce dropped by 2.74%– the biggest drop in labor force size of any demographic group during that time. (3/4)
